Marinated Steak Bites

Marinated Steak Bites

These steak bites will knock you straight in the taste buds.  The marinade soaks into the steak so that every bite is just as amazing as the one before it.  This recipe is about 2 steaks, which as an appetizer, feeds about 4 people.  You don’t have to eat it as an appetizer though!  If this is your whole meal, you better knock that down to just 2.

The most tender and juicy steak bites of all time!

How to Marinate a Steak

The process of marinating steak does a couple of things.  First, it adds a blast of flavor to the meat.  Allowing the marinade mixture to soak into the meat and fat, gives it the chance to permeate the entire cut and ensure that each bite will be filled with layers of that amazing flavor. Second, it makes the meat more tender.  Different cuts of meat have different degrees of toughness and marbling.  Marbling in steak refers to the fat content.  If you look closely, a well-marbled steak will have the streaky look of actual marble, and in my opinion, will taste better.

I have found that the optimal amount of time to allow a steak to marinade is about 30 minutes.  However, I am one that likes to taste the flavor of the actual meat though.  I want the flavor to have a chance to soak in, but without overpowering the natural flavor of the steak I am eating.

What do you serve with Marinated Steak Bites?

Let’s be honest, this is a meal, folks.  We have a big family so we double, sometimes triple the recipe so that we have leftovers, on purpose.  Why?  Because these steak bites are a great way to kick up other amazing recipes.  Steak and eggs?  Yes, please?  Here are a few ways that we like to use marinated steak bites the next day.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Calories 438 kcal

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces top sirloin or ribeye steak cut into 1-inch cubes

MARINADE

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients except the steak in a large bowl or ziplock bag. Stir to combine.
  2. Drop in steak pieces and seal (or cover bowl) for about 30 minutes. (I like it right at 15 minutes, but you can do as much as overnight)

  3. Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. (You want it hot) Remove steak pieces from marinade and place in hot skillet. Discard remaining marinade.

  4. Cook for 1 minute then flip each piece and cook an additional minute. That is for medium steaks, so cook longer if you prefer yours well done.

  5. Serve hot.

Tools used to make Marinated Steak Bites

The most important tool you will need for this recipe is a skillet.  I like to use the biggest one I have which is a 12 inch cast iron skillet but you can get them even bigger.  If you don’t have one that large, a smaller skillet will work similarly but you may need to cook the bites in small batches.  They need a little space to cook evenly.

    At a restaurant, I had Black & Blue Sirloin tips. They were kind enough to rattle the recipe off but, of course, I didn’t have a pen or paper. Would this marinade taste ok if I added blue cheese crumbles at the end!! Thanks.

    I made this just like the recipe except I used Bragg’s instead of soy sauce. I used top sirloin and it was the best steak I’ve ever made! And I’ve made a lot of steak. My whole family loved it! Thank you so much for the recipe!! It will be a regular meal I cook from now on.

      I just made these and they were quick and easy! My only issue was they were pretty salty. I think next time i will try it with a low sodium soy sauce and see if that helps.

    We really enjoyed these but found them a little too salty as well. I even used low sodium soy sauce. I will make them again and leave out the 1 teaspoon of salt. Thank you for the recipe!

    It is too salty, but it has great flavor. I plan to adjust it by 1/8 cup of soy, 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar and removing the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This should balance it out. I did, however, add the Italian Seasoning as someone suggested. Adds to the flavor.

      I meant to say that I’d leave out the teaspoon of Salt.
